Chapter 643: Chapter 643: Good Idea
He Nan’s eyes flashed as he said, "After all, it was I who introduced you to Uncle Li, and I’ve boasted about you. After three years of his tutoring, if you don’t do well on the exam, where would that leave our face?"
Shen Mianmian: "..."
She hadn’t expected him to say such a thing. Was Brother He making fun of her?
"Brother He, so you’re worried that if I don’t do well, it will reflect badly on you too? Don’t worry! As long as nothing unexpected happens, in three years, I will definitely get into Beijing University and not let you or Uncle Li lose face."
He Nan’s lips curved slightly, "Hmm, I’ll remember your promise. For these three years, you need to prioritize your studies above all else. Don’t think about other things for now. You’re still young, some matters are too early for you to deal with."
"..."
Shen Mianmian felt a bit confused by his words but after thinking for a while, she guessed that Brother He meant to remind her not to fall in love too early.
So, she directly asked, "Brother He, are you referring to early romance?"
Before He Nan could answer, she confidently assured, "Don’t worry about that! I won’t fall in love early. Although I’m young, I’m mature-minded. In my view, all those classmates are just kids. I wouldn’t dream of dating them and letting it affect my studies and earning money."
Shen Mianmian was sincere in her declaration; how could she, a woman nearly forty years old, be interested in teenage boys?
In her eyes, those classmates were just children. Whenever they gathered, the topics they discussed and the things they cared about all seemed childish to her, so she never joined in.
As a result, everyone thought she was rather aloof, and so, despite not being as disliked as in middle school, she hadn’t made many close friends in high school, apart from Lu Siyuan and Du Xiaohui who were somewhat close to her.
Of course, another reason people kept their distance was because of Yang Xiaoxi.
Her bad relationship with Yang Xiaoxi, the principal’s daughter, made others fearful of getting the short end of the stick, conveniently leaving her in peace.
"Not a bad idea."
He Nan was quite satisfied with Shen Mianmian’s answer, so there was a hint of praise in his voice, unaware that years later, he would regret these words when faced with Shen Mianmian’s preoccupation with making money.
As they talked, they had reached the door. He casually said, "Go to bed early."
"Good night, Brother He."
Shen Mianmian opened the door and entered her room.
Good night?
He Nan’s lips curled up again. Such a simple pair of words, but coming from her mouth, they sounded as sweet as if sugared, inexplicably delightful.
Shen Mianmian returned to her room, washed up, and went to bed.
After a good night’s sleep, she woke up early the next day and was taken to school by He Nan. That evening, she learned from He Nan that everything had gone smoothly at home, the door locks had been changed, and that Pan Huiyun, having been deceived, caused a scene at the doorstep all day before finally being taken away by Wan Dongcheng in the evening.
Time flew by, and half a month had passed. Wan Dongcheng, out of options, first reported the matter to the police, then caused a commotion at the entrance of the Li Family compound, and finally resorted to pleading, exhausting all possible methods.
Xiu Min, worried that the ongoing trouble would affect Li Shiping and the children, asked Li Yue to take Li Shiping to their aunt’s place in Beijing to stay for a while.
Wan Dongcheng kept up the disturbance for another half month, but realizing it was useless, then went to cause problems at the No. 3 Middle School, only to be chastised by He Nan and Li Yue, and eventually he resigned himself to his fate and returned to the village, finally quieting down.
